opinion as to the necessity or otherwise of his being 
seen by one of the Consulting Physicians to the 
Colonial Office. Immediately after the examination 
the medical officer will himself post a certificate in the 
approved form direct to the Colonial Office, so that it 
will arrive in England by the same ship as the officer

(b) When the officer arrives in the United Kingdom 
he will receive instructions to present himself to one 
of the Consulting Physicians to the Colonial Office, if

may be required to show that the recommendations of 
the local medical officer are being carried out. 
(c) If an officer falls ill so as to require medical 
attendance during the voyage home or during his 
leave of absence, and remains ill for a week, he must 
report the fact to the Colonial Office, and send

as he remains under medical care. This also applies 
to the case of invalided officers, who are unable, on 
arrival in this country, to comply, within a week, with 
instructions to visit the Consulting Physician. 
(d) Unless these rules are observed, an officer will 
not be entitled to pay during any extension of leave 
which it may be necessary to grant him on the ground 
of ill-health.

of State to discharge any duty or to go through any 
course of instruction which he may think necessary 
during their leave of absence and will not be entitled 
to any additional remuneration or leave of absence in 
consideration of such employment. Allowances may,
